Micromanipulation

What Is

Micromanipulation?

Micromanipulation is a technique used in assisted reproductive technology (ART) that involves the manipulation of the eggs, sperm, and embryos at a cellular level using microscopic instruments by an embryologist. It can be used to inject a sperm into a mature egg to aid fertilization, to assist with the hatching of a blastocyst, and for the diagnosis of genetic abnormalities in the embryo prior to implantation.

Micromanipulation can help individuals or couples with both male and female factor infertility to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
